A Day the Lord Has Made

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.   Psalm 23:1-6

today is a new day,

a new beginning,

a new way,

a fresh start,

the closing of one chapter,

the opening of another;

today is a day

the Lord has made;

Lord, look down on me now,

see the hope growing within,

remove the darkness,

smooth the rough and rocky places,

make me lie down in pastures of green grass,

lead me beside the still waters,

restore my soul,

lead me down paths of righteousness,

prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies,

anoint my head with oil,

rescue me from this prison

that has surrounded me

all my life.
